Submissions are invited for a collection of essays on women,representation and space in 19th and 20th century literature. While themain focus of the volume is women's metaphorical appropriation of publicand private spaces since the beginning of the 19th century until today,the book will also pay particular attention to the way women writershave interrogated and deconstructed the binary divide between public andprivate space. Some possible topics include:

-- Public role of domestic settings, and their implications for women.

-- Literary configurations of interstitial or liminal spaces where theseparation between private and public sphere is suspended.

-- Women walking or appropriating the city.

If you are working on any of these topics, and will be able to write a200 word abstract by February 1, 2005, please contact:
